The
Titusville Ladies Club (TLC) raised nearly $10,000 in their kickoff fundraiser
and first stop of the “Traveling Bras” held on September 8, benefiting cancer
care programs at Parrish Medical Center (PMC).

“The Journey of the Traveling Bras” is a beautifully decorated display of 10
showcased bras making their way across Titusville,
with various stops along the way. Each stop of the Traveling Bras will showcase
the intricate workmanship of these wearable, themed “works of art,” decorated
and generously donated by Jean Shuford and Pamela Childers of JBI in Titusville.
More than 200
people attended the kickoff event where two-dozen salons and boutiques
showcased unique fashions and accessories, as well as salon products and
services. TLC received community sponsorships, and the salons donated a
percentage of proceeds, helping TLC bring the total raised to just under
$10,000.

“The kickoff event was more successful than we had ever imagined! We’re so
proud of our community for coming together to support such an important cause
and we look forward to continuing this journey,” said Fran Colman, TLC
co-chair.

The next stop of TLC’s “Traveling Bras” will be hosted by Merle Norman &
Boutique at 3045 Columbia Boulevard
in Titusville at
the Crossroads Marketplace on Thursday, October 18, 2012 from 3:00 to 7:00 pm.
At 5:30 pm, cancer survivor and guest speaker, Dawn Cummings, will share her
journey, and at 6:00 pm there will be an “In the Pink” Fashion Show sponsored
by Cache, The Avenues in Viera. Attendees will have chances to win raffles and
door prizes, and there will be in-store promotions from Merle Norman vendors,
such as Brighton Collectibles “Power of Pink”, Pandora Jewelry and Vera
Bradley.

“We started the Titusville Ladies Club because several of our friends have been
diagnosed with breast cancer. The news weighed heavy on our hearts, as we can’t
imagine not having these women in our lives. Our circle of friends decided to
raise money to help our local community. We were introduced to the cancer care
programs at Parrish and knew right away that is where we want the proceeds to
go,” said Candi Neuweiler, owner of Merle Norman & Boutique in Titusville,
and member of TLC.

The “Traveling Bras” will make several more stops before the journey ends at
TLC’s signature event, the “New Year, New Life” New Year’s Eve Gala at Sherwood
Golf & Country Club, where the beautifully decorated bras will be auctioned
off to the highest bidder. For a complete schedule of events, visit www.Facebook.com/TitusvilleLadiesClub. Proceeds
from all events will be donated to Jess Parrish Medical Foundation to support
cancer care programs at PMC.

About Titusville
Ladies Club
The Titusville Ladies Club (TLC)
was formed by a close-knit group of women who share many things in common, but
what especially holds true to their hearts is the care of local women diagnosed
with cancer. As a team they have come to realize that they work well with one
another, share in and have compassion for others. This is how they can give
back and express just how lucky they are to have each other as great friends.
As everyone knows, cancer does not discriminate. It has touched everyone’s
lives in one form or another through family or friends. It’s a real life
journey, and the “Traveling Bras” are on a journey to demonstrate how TLC
supports those in need. For more information about TLC, call 321-403-3014 or
